In July 2023 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The only option I was offered by the NHS was “Watchful Waiting”, and as my cancer developed, hormone treatment to slow the progress of my cancer. I asked my consultant if the roles were reversed would he be happy to accept my prognosis, he said no! He then referred me to Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran (Professor PS) at the Cleveland Clinic London (CCL). I was reluctant to go to London as I live in Stratford upon Avon and the logistics of traveling to London, parking, hotel accommodation (The CCL offer some excellent packages to cover these areas) and the lack of available close support from family and friends, seemed somewhat daunting. However, in my meetings with Professor PS I became convinced he was the right choice to be my consultant. Professor PS was understanding of my concerns, outlined all my options in detail, and explained why a Radical Prostatectomy would be my best option. He took me through all the stages of the procedure from diagnosis to how my operation would be performed to recovery. Professor PS treated me with respect, understanding and kindness and I was conscious I was dealing with someone at the very top of their game. He was very honest with me explaining that my weight and size of my prostate would make the operation more complicated. I heeded his advice and lost two stone and generally ensured my fitness levels improved before the date of my operation. Fortunately, even with the complications of my weight and the extensive reconstructive surgery required, my radical prostatectomy was a complete success. My recovery has been nothing less than spectacular. The nursing staff at the Cleveland Clinic were excellent. After the surgery I had no pain and no discomfort. I was able to get up the day after my operation and walk about and went home two days later. After 3 weeks I had my catheter removed and was discharged from the CCL. Professor PS kept in touch with me during this period and made time to visit me just before I was discharged.

Really helpful, listens and is passionate about the care for his patients

After a desultory 6 minute phone appointment with our NHS GP for my 91 year old mother who barely concealed her disinterest, I was grateful to receive a recommendation to Dr Dan. The difference between the two experiences was chalk and cheese. We had our appointment online which was the easiest option for mum. The first big difference is that a 30 minute consultation with Dr Dan is standard. Sheer luxury! Dan actively listened, showed interest, he was both friendly and respectful, directing his questions to mum rather than me as her carer which pleased us both greatly. His responses were decisive, reassuring and crucially, compassionate towards an elderly lady who was more than a bit scared by her recent health challenges. He was willing to think outside the box on her health issue which required exactly that approach. We have had two subsequent follow ups and have been similarly delighted by the advice received. Dr Dan is skillfully assisted by Nathan who runs the The Wright Practice extremely professionally and with great good humour. I’m very relieved to have made the move from our NHS practice to Dr Dan.

Dr Lavan was incredibly helpful in providing a diagnostic to our daughter who had a persisting fever. He was not only professional and very kind, he also kept in touch via email to check on her health. He also made himself available during the week end and always answered with quick, reassuring and thorough answers as to her condition. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Explains well, to the point and makes you feel at ease, fills you with confidence

Great appointment and relaxed

I was referred to Mr Lunawat because of recurring UTI's. He is very professional, kind and I feel totally confident under his care.

My experience with Mr Nkwam was a pleasant one. He was clear with his explanation of the process and procedure. And was also friendly in his manner.

Excellent, knowledgeable and efficient, process was explained and understood, would certainly be happy to be under the care of Mr Awsare again.
